Windows DRM can be used to detect the real IP of Tor users.


It seems Tor users better not open DRM files on your Windows computer. Of course it is better not to use windows at all ;-)

Hacker House (a team that also found vulnerabilities in Red Star (north Korea linux OS) made a short movie how it works.

Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a license technology used to prevent spreading of illegal media files. It does this by locking the audio and video files or streams with a encryption key. When you open a file protected by DRM is will ask for the decryption key. This decryption is key is provided by a network server. So users need to be connected to the internet.

The computer will send the real ip address instead of the Tor ip. Of course this is not a new type of attack but still.

See the video below for the demonstration.
